For architect Craig Steely, whose firm tagline is “modern architecture in exotic places, exotic architecture in modern places,” the major innovation of this house was the hybrid system. This guest house was built using a hybrid system of site built construction and a prefabricated galvanized and acrylic panel system.
If you take a look at Steely’s portfolio you’ll find out that clean modernist lines address the site and explore the relationship between the inside and out. He explores what is possible, sustainable and stylish. If a site is a challenge then Steely not only accepts the challenge but his solutions are elegant and environmentally sound. Steep sites in San Francisco, modern renewal of old houses needing more than just a face lift and homes taking root in lava flows.
